"The Perimeter data centers are a great complement to our Dallas facility, enhancing our ability to meet customer demand for expert, outside support maintaining mission-critical information systems," said Paul Estes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cequel Data Centers. "We continue to believe there are great growth opportunities in this business, as more and more companies seek such support."
